The state grange resolutions printed
elsewhere contain some good sugges-
lions, but how the grange could urge
its members s.to vote for no candidate
who is not pledged to OPP
pose a free trade policy whereby the
labor of this country is compelled to
compete with the world" we can hard
ly understand. Not that ''free trade"
is at all imminent at this time, or that
it is even contemplated by any of the
political parties, except that OF MIR.
George, but the declaration will be
construed as an Endorsement OF the
present robber tariff, which robs the
farmer most of all. In Minnesota the
farmers begin to realize this, and even
republicans must there declare for tariff
reform in order to insure election to
congress. The republicans in Nebraska
also see it, as their recent platform de-
olared 1--WE condemn a system OF
revenue that compels the farmers of
the west to pay tribute to the manufac-
turers of the east" We do not believe
the farmers of Missouri agree with the
recommendation of the state grange,
we know that the farmers of Lafayette
county do not, and that as a matter Of
fact they are largely, without regard
to party, with Mr.. Carlisle in the desire
to lop off the surplus by a reduction Of
the tariff.

THE PRESS IS RIGHT TO OPPOSE IT.
Our esteemed contemporary, Il

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Boonviile Advertiser, prints all argu-
ment against prohibition and concludes
with these words:-"The press of the
state, which in many instances mixes
up slocal option and prohibition
should seek to distinguish between the
two and urge the adoption of the
former to render the latter impossible"
Our contemporary falls into error here.
1t is not the press OF the state which
mixes up ''local option" with "prohl-
bition - it was the Legislators who did
that. They made the inhibition in their
local option law prohibition. 1t is a
mere juggle OF words to endeavor to
make it appear that prohibition cannot
be included in a local option law as
we'll as in a statute which comes from
the legislature a complete law. As to
the policy recommended in the last sen
tence, we cannot agree with it. If pro-
hibition is wrong it should be opposed
everywhere. We believe that it is
wrong in principle, an infringement of
personal liberty and an impairment in
trusion by one man into the private
habits of another, and that. as a moral
agency it has proven to be a delusion,
impelling other sins while not reform
ing that OF drunkenness. Therefore we
cannot support it, and we believe the
press generally is right when it OPP
poses it.

THE POST GNAWING A FILE.

The Post appears much more anxious
to put the I~ntelligencer in the wrong
than to advance the cause of temper
ance. Its attacks are silly. 1t AYERS
that the Intelligeucer is inconsistent,
and III the next breath that it may al
WAYS be counted on one side of the
whisky question.
The truth is, that the Intelligencer
occupies the conservative ground that
is the true ground. 1t no more advo-
Gates saloons than does its critic. Its
editor never in his life signed an
application for a saloon license
and never will, has always adj
vised temperance and sobriety, does
not touch liquor himself, visit saloons,
or in any way encourage others to do
80. In saying that the public agitation,
by the county, was settled for four
years or until new legislation was had,
the I%ntelligencer practically alleged
what the recent temperance meeting at
Higginsville said; and as to the recon-
mendation to print the names in appli-
cations for license in order to see that
the law shall be enforced, the lntelli-
gencer has done that in the past, and
will always cheerfully do it in the
future.
When Incorporate abuse OF men who
do not agree with prohibitionists is in
dulged in by the Post, editorially and
in such fanatical reprints as that from
the Standard, it will not be astonishing
if, conservative men are driven into in
difference, who might otherwise assist
in reducing the evils of drink. The
trouble is, that Interior motives are
permitted to obtrude. One politician
seeks an advantage over another; q
newspaper desires to make capital
against another. True temperance peo-
pie will steer clear of these self-ap-
pointed leaders, listen to reason, and
be tolerant and charitable.
So far as the Intelligencer's position
is concerned,t the Post knows at least that
the people of the county have very re-
Gently Endorsed it by an overwhelming
majority. 1t cannot reasonably expect
that this majority, 80 soon after the in
suits and contumely heaped upon it by
the leaders of the minority, is ready to
submit to having a ring put in Its nose
to be led about by the vehicle OF the
abuse, the H~igginsville Post.

The Post says Q certain plan for
work against the licensing of saloons
is practicable, but it fails to show how
it is so. Its desire is evidently to make
Q point against the Intelligencer, not
to carry the plan into effect. II 1t be-
lieves the proposed means a good one
why does it not advocate it, and lead it
into accomplishment? We deemed it
not feasible as to the entire county and
showed why. Let us see which is the
better informed. in Higginsville the
saloons can be closed, as we indicated,
by refraining from signing the appli-
cations for license.

The Count de Lesseps has announced
to the Paris academy of science that
the Panama canal will be opened
February 3, 1890. AS a matter Of fact
the indications now are that the I'M
dertaking is a failure. There is already
a debt of $500 ,00O, O0O, and not more
than one-fifth of the work is done, be-
side which the greatest engineering
problems are still to be overcome This
has given an impetus to the true and
feasible project. and in some two weeks
forty engineers, with ample men and
means, viii leave New York for a
definite survey Of the Nicaragua route.
The Mehocal plans will doubtless be
adopted, the cost of which, complete,
will be less than $50, 600, 900. A pow
erful American syndicate has been
formed which will furnish this sum, or
even a greater one if necessary, and
the expectation now is that the work
can be completed in six ears.
